Matthew Vaughn talks X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequel

As I have mentioned before, X-Men: First Class is one of my most anticipated films of the summer. I can't wait for June 3rd. The first trailer did not really sell me, but after watching the theatrical trailer and seeing the various clips I have become a huge supporter of the project. I am particularly excited for the period story line and the characters. The first reviews are in and they are nothing but positive. This film will dominate the box office, so it makes sense that a sequel will likely happen.

Director Matthew Vaughn spoke to Hitfix recently and had this to say about the sequel:

"Yeah, definitely.  I really loved working with them, and with Michael [Fassbender] and James [McAvoy], the chemistry was really lovely. I've got some ideas for the opening for the next film.  I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto.  That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he's pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren't even mentioned.  And we could go from there, and I've got some fun ideas about what other mutants to bring in.  I don't want to tempt fate, though.  If the film's a hit, of course I'd be interested.  I really enjoyed making it."

That sounds like a sequel that I would love to see. How about you?

The film stars Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Lawrence, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Jason Flemyng, Zoë Kravitz, Lucas Till, Oliver Platt, Ray Wise, Edi Gathegi, Caleb Landry Jones and Álex González. Check out all our coverage on X-Men here.

 

Official Plot Synopsis:

X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
